The Book of Judges foretold the 2008 Presidentail Election!

...with just a little bit of creative editing.


Judges 4 tells the story of the Israelite army commander Barak son of Abinoam (A-b-o-a-m = o-b-A-m-a) and his defeat of the McCanaanite forces under Sisera.

A common interpretation of the story based on an amalgam of the prose in Judges 4 and the retelling of the tale in the "Song of Deborah" in Judges 5 goes like this;

The McCanaanites had been oppressing Israel for 20 years and Barak, at the behest of Deborah went out to meet them at mount Tabor.

The McCanaanites, with their "900 chariots of iron", were better equipped than the Israelites ("not a spear or shield was found among the camp of the Israelites") and were most likely looking forward to a sure victory, but Barak gained an edge by taking the (moral)high ground.

As the battle was about to be engaged the River Kishon overflowed it's banks and flooded the valley the McCanaanite forces were marshalled in, turning it into mud thus making their chariots useless, and leaving them at the mercy of Barak's army, who soundly defeated them.

So basically the McCanaanites blew it by wallowing in mud.

If my theory is correct, we should expect to see Samson showing up in our lifetime (God I hope the Bears sign him).

I don't know about you guys but this example completely restores my faith in the power of coincidence.

Frubals! I would kill to be able to frubal you for these! Quag, sometimes I wish I could have your wit, but, of course, without your embarrassing bodily noises.

You can have my wit, Phil, I wasn't using it (without my embarrassing bodily noises, I'd be powerless against the Phillistines).

That explains a lot. If I had only known, I wouldn't have spent as much time or money for Obama. It was god's will all along.

Following this (all to obviously legitimate) mode of interpreting scripture, I think we should expect to see Kenny G. running in 2016.

I dare you to do something with Zerubbabel...

I have good reason to believe that "Zerubbabel is ancient Babylonian for "Starbucks", but I can't prove it---yet.

With a little creative editing, we can put ourselves into prophecy, too.
